Striker Devante Cole has been at the Academy since the days his father Andrew was banging in the goals for the first-team.

Cole has advanced all the way up to the Elite Development Squad ranks and is recognised as one of the best strikers of his age in the country - a fact reflected by his call-up to the England u18s squad in 2012.

Devante was selected by Manuel Pellegrini for the first-team pre-season tour of South Africa in July 2013 and made his debut against SuperSport United in Johannesburg.
